Reviews for Ariane Hotel

Review 1：There were no bad experiences !

Review 2：Super staff--maybe the essential key to the whole experience.Warm welcome to the hotel and lovely hospitality inside.Good restaurant,very comfortable fully equipped rooms

Review 3：Wall partitions thin - next door didn't have to be very noisy to be heard.

Review 4：Staff uniformly friendly, helpful and competent. Excellent restaurant, bar, and location. Rooms well appointed and designed.

Review 5：The hotel has very friendly helpful staff, an excellent restaurant, and is conveniently located close to market square, beautiful church and museums. Ypres is beautiful at any time of year, in winter it has a wonderful atmosphere, market stalls, ice skating and twinkling lights. For the British, Ypres will always be very special, and the Ariane the best place to stay.

Review 6：Only downside was the restaurant having bar snacks only on Sunday evenings.

Review 7：A very clean & comfortable hotel, excellent restaurant for evening meals and a very generous hot & cold buffet breakfast. Large bed and large, efficient shower. Friendly, helpful and efficient staff. Overall, one of the best places we have stayed.

Review 8：The wheels on the beds meant they moved dangerously fast when trying to get in the bed!!!

Review 9：Extremely pleasant, well appointed hotel. We will stay there again.

Review 10：Absolutely nothing.

Review 11：Staff were a delight, could not have been more charming. Perfect location, loads of parking, terrific breakfast, great bathroom, fully kitted bedrooms.....

Review 12：Friendly, helpful staff, had to change rooms as the radiator valve was stuck so there was no heating, had an upgrade to a larger room, the housekeeping staff helped to move our luggage. Warm, comfortable hotel, great breakfast.

Review 13：none

Review 14：The hotel was in a nice location near the town. There were lots of WW1 history and items which had been excavated from the local area on display in the reception area. The hotel staff were excellent and extremely friendly. One of the best hotels I have stayed in.

Review 15：Not knowing when the cleaners were going to arrive. It was very random, one day at 10 am another day 4.20 pm. Didn't feel I could return from a day out and relax for a couple hours before dinner or review maps etc before heading off for the day

Review 16：The staff are really helpful and friendly. Room was really comfortable and large. The hotel is in a very convenient place but away from the crowds

Review 17：Such friendly staff who helped to ensure a fab stay. This hotel has a modern lay out and everything was laid out and designed to perfection including lots of sockets in the room

Review 18：The Hotel was fabulous, staff efficient and very helpful, food wonderful. Absolutely the best Hotel we have stayed. Will always go back there. Brilliant.

Review 19：This is not really a "didn't like", but the bed was a little uncomfortable. It would not stop me from visiting again.

Review 20：We really liked the WW1 theme of the hotel which ties in with history of the local area. The staff were very friendly and all spoke many languages fluently.

Review 21：A very nice hotel, situated a short walk from the Flanders Fields museum, and the Menim Gate. Good parking facilities, allowing you to leave the car and enjoy the local bars and restaurants. Very pleasant multi lingual staff, offering a warm welcome, with the local knowledge to assist and point you in the right direction.

Review 22：Modern, clean and comfortable the Ariane is an excellent base for visiting the WW1 battlefields around Ypres. Only a short distance from the city centre it has the bonus of on site parking, which many other hotels in the centre do not have.

Review 23：Pillows where not as described; 2 soft and two hard. The lounge and comfort area where a little small. Perfect for a long weekend or short break, but lacking facilities for a longer break.

Review 24：Great location, friendly attentive staff, clean rooms. All room requirements such as iron drink making tools and hangers. The decor is very fitting, well done.

Review 25：Couldn't stay longer.

Review 26：The hotel is only a few hundred yards from Ypres centre, it is a lovely clean hotel with happy helpful staff. The restaurant has a small but good menu, great beer and wine. Rooms available for disabled people, also clean and fresh. Beds made each day, bottled water supplied and selection of toiletries and towels.

Review 27：Friendly welcoming check in and out. Great restaurant for breakfast, sadly restaurant not open in a Sunday night thought we were aware of this in advance. Large light and airy room with comfortable facilities

Review 28：Very friendly and efficient welcome. Room was very comfortable and clean...iron and ironing board included. Very good buffet breakfast. Free parking . Right in the centre of the city and near the sights. Free wifi.

Review 29：The room was pretty basic and a little 'sad' in tones, Browns and beiges, a bit depressing!

Review 30：Loved the great location, easy to get to the main square, cloth hall and Menin Gatw.

Review 31：I have stayed at Ariane 3 times, now. The experience is always an absolute pleasure. Pleasant and helpful staff. Marvellous rooms and restaurant. The hotel even has it's own car park. I will definitely be staying again, and would recommend to anyone.

Review 32：Bought museum tickets at reception and told they would be cheaper but didn't get discounted rate as booked through booking.com!

Review 33：Fabulous location, really friendly staff and amenities. Fantastic selection for breakfast

Review 34：This hotel was well located only a short stroll from the city square. The facilities were excellent and the display of war memorabilia was impressive. The rooms were also spacious, comfortable and well appointed.

Review 35：Ideal location for sightseeing, very easy to find your way around Ypres & back to the Ariane. Very good choice for breakfast & lovely fresh breads & croissants. The room was a decent size & the beds were the comfiest we've slept in, in any hotel. We had food in the restaurant which was delicious & the Mojito Cocktails were divine. The staff were the best I have come across in a long time, all happy, helpful & made our stay pleasurable. We have tried to book again to stay in December but the Ariane is unfortunately full. I would not hesitate to stay here again & will do very soon.

Review 36：the only knock I have is the fact that on the night we stayed, the hotel had let the bar and kitchen staff off for the night so we had to get dinner and drinks in town. Disappointing sense this is one of the better watering holes in Ypres!!

Review 37：Excellent and helpful staff, clean, roomy hotel, easy parking, great location.

Review 38：We had an excellent stay at this hotel, and will not hesitate to return. The hotel is very clean and comfortable. A short walking distance from the wonderful Flanders Fields museum, restaurants and shopping areas. Hotel staff were very helpful and accommodating. The inclusive breakfasts were excellent. An added bonus was the very convenient parking lot. This hotel is an excellent value for the money.

Review 39：Absolutely the only negative was that soundproofing between rooms was not too good. Fortunately there were no late arriving guests so it was not a problem for us.

Review 40：We don't usually eat in hotel restaurants but gave this one a try and it was first class. The buffet breakfasts were also excellent.

Review 41：Bed a little dicey for older folks. It moves too easily as I nearly was on the floor as it slid away on sitting on the edge. Also, the facility runs on the very warm side.

Review 42：Wonderful staff and fantastic breakfast. Location great for the town and history exploration.

Review 43：The staff were friendly and competent. There was a real feeling of team spirit amongst the staff and they went that extra mile to assist. Restaurant and bar area relaxed and friendly.

Review 44：Nothing at all!

Review 45：This is the third time that I have stayed at Ariane Hotel. On this occasion, as on the previous ones, everything about this hotel has been really excellent. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful. The private parking is very convenient, as is the central location of the hotel from which it is easy to walk to the main attractions in Ypres. The breakfast is excellent as was the dinner on the one evening that I dined in the hotel restaurant. Wi-if is very reliable and efficient. I would very strongly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Ypres/Ieper.

Review 46：Excellent quiet location close to centre but with good off road parking. Very good in-house restaurant and helpful staff to recommend other restaurants in Ypres.

Review 47：The hotel was lovely - room excellent and the restaurant was first class. All the staff (a family run hotel) were only there to please and make your stay as pleasant as possible. Sunday afternoon tea (if sunny) in the garden - well fight for a seat - think the locals love this hotel and many use it - enough said. Of course Ypres - well you have to go to savour the experience - last post at 8pm every evening at the Menin Gate and Tyne Cot cemetery, Passchendaele - never will be forgotten by us. All should go to see how many unmarked graves are there and then talk about stress now and what they went through then!!! Lyn and Ed - Suffolk

Review 48：Friendly staff . very nice hotel construction. modern and stylish and lots of light. the ww1 display was a nice touch. Quiet location but easily accessible to Ypres centre.

Review 49：We enjoyed our stay very much.

Review 50：Our room was spacious and well thought out. The public rooms were light and airy and were a pleasure to sit in with food or a glass of wine. The WW1 memorabilia on display was interesting.

Review 51：All very good.

Review 52：Delightful hotel - modern, well appointed & very comfortable room, including bathroom. Staff very friendly & helpful. Ate dinner in restaurant - very good meals & service. Excellent location & convenient free parking really useful. A delightful stay - will return when next in the area.

Review 53：The hotel and staff were fabulous. We were upgraded into a spectacular room with jacuzzi. We then had dinner in the restaurant, and eat what was probably the best salad I had ever eaten in a restaurant.

Review 54：Our only issue was with the meals. They were rather expensive, and the choices limited. Having talked to other people , we were not alone in these views. The evening meals did not live up to expectations.In particular the main course, underdone and overpriced.

Review 55：We liked the friendly atmosphere in the hotel. The bedrooms were comfortable with mugs provide for tea!, with plenty more supplies when asked. The staff were very helpful.

Review 56：Large reception area and friendly staff. Good Bistro, Restaurant, lounge for guests, Excellent bedroom and bathroom with wet room shower. Plentiful breakfast. Well placed for a short walk to town centre and museums.

Review 67：Ideally located in town. Very friendly and helpful staff. Comfortable but rather small room. Food at dinner and breakfast was excellent. Good wine list.

Review 70：Central location. Excellent receptionist. Good food. An informative WW1 display in the reception area. The restaurant staff were very good and helpful. Free and close parking.

Review 71：The Ariane is well located within walking distance of Flanders Field Museum and Menin Gate. It is very attractive with lovely garden seating / dining area and the staff are very courteous and helpful in every way.

Review 78：Superb stay. Well positioned for stroll to main square/Last Post event. Excellent room and pubic areas. Parking onsite. Superb breakfast and great evening menu. Will be returning on next trip to Ypres.

Review 79：Restaurant menu very fish orientated (not good for fish allergy) and a bit pricey

Review 80：Breakfast buffet was superb. Spotlessly clean room and bathroom. Very helpfull staff and nice to see hands on management on duty.

Review 81：The only small negative comment would be they need better coffee / tea / milk facilities at breakfast. 2 machines to service a large hotel, not quite enough, especially as one stopped working.

Review 82：As a family we were all highly impressed with this hotel. Clean, modern, helpful staff and in a great location. Breakfast was yummy, lots of choice, self service. Free drinks voucher on arrival and lovely grounds to enjoy a glass of something on a summers evening.

Review 98：Smart, modern hotel in an excellent area. Interesting display of war memorabilia in the hotel. Staff were very pleasant and helpful and the rooms were clean and comfortable.

Review 99：Everything, for a family run hotel it is excellent, we went into to the restaurant both nights the food was fabulous and fabulous choice for both dinner the breakfast. The staff were lovely, friendly and helpful. It has to be one of the best hotels we have stayed in and good value for money, no hesitation on recommending it to friends.

Review 100：The size of the pillow was a little small, and the bathroom décor was a little tired.

Review 101：Location was good and the patio and garden area made it feel like you were not in the city

Review 102：Staff all spoke very good English. All helpful and friendly, food excellent, along with service? A short walk to town, I would definitely stay here again

Review 103：Restaurant Lunch and evening menu choices limited, so much so we always went into the town centre to eat.

Review 104：Lovely rooms which were spacious. Bathroom quite large and clean. Well maintained. Great breakfast, Never seen such a large choice of food. Presented well and never felt like 2nd rate and picked over. Helpful staff. Just 5 mins walk from the town square. Free parking. Outside patio area superb and plenty of seats.

Review 105：Marks in the bathroom due to choice of material, but should have been cleaned better so it didn't show!

Review 106：Breakfast was amazing, very relaxing hotel stay, lovely weather to enjoy beer in the garden.

Review 110：Pity about the Belgium policy of a tourist/city tax because it was rather unexpected!

Review 111：The location in Ypres, the ambience, the outdoor sitting areas, the food and of course the staff. Parking was free and any queries were met with politeness and a willingness to make your stay enjoyable. Easy to find.

Review 112：Restaurant menu disappointing and was so hot in there and when we asked waitress if possible to open window she was bit abrupt, and said no, they couldn't. We weren't the only ones who felt uncomfortable due to temperature.

Review 113：Quite good location. Room was fantastic, very nice, spacious, and clean

Review 114：Just one small thing - I would have liked to have been served my coffee at breakfast instead of a very extensive coffee machine as it just didn't have that " good morning" touch.

Review 115：As a single woman I found the location of the hotel was very good and I was at ease walking back from the service at the Menin Gate. The restaurant staff on my first night were upbeat smiling and attentive the food was excellent . Reception staff were also knowledgeable and helpful on getting to places of interest.
